Market sentiment set for September boost – Wells Fargo

With global equities up 11% from their June trough and while market volatility is at multi-year lows, Wells Fargo has noted a cautiously positive tone in FX in recent weeks: “Looking ahead, we expect European events to evolve favorably overall in September, which could further boost market sentiment,” says Wells Fargo in a research note. “Against this backdrop, the euro could see a further corrective rally towards $1.2750 and perhaps even $1.3000. For commodity and emerging currencies, we see the Canadian dollar, Mexican peso and Singapore dollar as candidates for currency appreciation.”

In another typical summer holiday session in Europe, the London session ahead will bring a blank economic agenda with no major risk events EUR related. In the sovereign debt auctions front Spain will focus the attention selling up to € 4.5B in 12-18 month bills, while its 10 year yields hit a new 7-week lows at 6.16% yesterday and the risk premium with Germany below the 500 bps. Headlines will keep driving market action on constant speculation about the future of the euro crisis. Starting tomorrow, several key meetings will take place among EZ leaders to deal on current situation.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

EURUSD moved without priority in direction yesterday’s trading session. Currently pair is stabilized above our suggested resistance level at 1.2354. Today we are not expecting significant volatility increase on the markets however break above next resistance level at 1.2369 (R1) would suggest next target at 1.2389 (R2). If the price holds its momentum on the upside we can expect a further rise towards to 1.2408 (R3). On the other hand, loss of next support at 1.2341 (S1) might lead to the further correction development and expose targets at 1.2321 (S2) and 1.2301 (S3) levels.
